GUI checkbox

[shornw]

This is very odd (well I think so). This script will publish a disclaimer when a user runs a program which they will have to acknowledge before the program will run. The window opens fine but the checkbox is invisible until the cursor is rolled over it, which will cause issues for users.

Can anyone offer any suggestion as to why.

$head = FileRead("\\pdc001\scripts\run\head.txt")
$read = FileRead("\\pdc001\scripts\run\read.txt")

GUICreate("== IMPORTANT MESSAGE ==", 450, 360)

;create checkbox
$ACCEPT = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("ACCEPT", 200, 270)

;Create Text
GUICtrlCreateLabel("Text will go here", 10, 20, 400, 300, 0001)

;Create Buttons
$exit = GUICtrlCreateButton("Exit", 270, 320, 70, 30)
$OK = GUICtrlCreateButton("OK", 90, 320, 70, 30)

;WinActivate("** ")
GUISetState()

    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Or $msg = $exit Then Exit
    If $msg = $OK Then
        _RunProg()
    EndIf
    ;   Exit
WEnd

Func _RunProg()
    If GUICtrlRead($ACCEPT) = $GUI_CHECKED Then
        Run("C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE http://google.co.uk")

The size of GUICtrlCreateLabel() was too large, it just painted over the checkbox....
